Music, love, and friendship and the rest of it be damned

And you don't seem to hear me when I call

If there's anyway to tell you, anyway to persuade
I'd really love to spare you the mistakes I've made

Not my favourite Dead song, but that couplet caught my eye.
  

    
That is nice. I don't think I ever paid attention to the lyrics as the song
just didn't interest me much.
  

    
I came to like the song more after playing with with Bralove a couple of
times.

I don't want your leadership, your promises and lies
I don't want your anything, hope you'll realise

Righteousness within my soul and rapture on my face

348/366 From 'Worried In Mind', recorded by Midnight Rodeo on their

Now it ain't as bad as I'm pretending, I'm just trying to make a
point
I won't break but I've been bending so far back I'm out of joint

A little bit quicker and we might have time
To say "How do you do?" before we're left behind

Learn to speak, speak with wisdom like a child

Who exactly do you think I am?

Lost my boots in transit babe, pile of smoking leather
Nailed a retread to my feet and prayed for better weather

Always loved this couplet and then I found out what this incident
referred to and it became an "Oh Wow" moment for me...
  

    
Do tell.

The bottles stand as empty now, as they were filled before
Time there was and plenty, but from that cup no more
